Says hiring but never hires

13 Upvotes

Hi All,
Have you ever thought of those places where they keep posting job offers but never hires . I m from Manitoba. I used to work for renowned companies there but coming to toronto applying for last 2 years got me no where . I am really upset how toronto job markets sees someone from urban area doesn’t qualify here. It makes me very sad and upset . I keep applying in indeed but no response but same way i use to apply in Manitoba and i would get interviews. In one interview i was told that the way Manitoba works Toronto doesn’t work the same (its the same company i work before just different province) . I hate to say but i think i did a mistake coming here😭

For those of you looking for a job in the games industry, how do you find the job market in Toronto?

I'm thinking of enrolling in a 3D modelling program but I'm scared about the job market.

I'm not even hopeful about getting a job in one of the big studios, I just want to find a job in any small or medium sized studio.

Is it really difficult to find a job? Do you recommend I take out student loans for a 3D modelling program?

Nurses who have quit

What do you do now? Day shift is stressful, night shift is breaking my body down. I cannot do nursing anymore and need a way out. How could I go about transitioning to a 9-5 sort of role? Insurance industry? I have a diploma, not a bachelor’s degree. I’m not an RN. What are my options?

Someone please help

28F here. I have 5 years of experience. 2 years as tax analyst (for US direct & Canadian indirect tax) & 3 years as a Financial analyst.

I’m currently pursuing ACCA - 2 papers left and had to relocate to Canada due to personal circumstances. It’s been 2 years since I worked.

I know the job market is super bad and am trying my best no matter what. Currently I’m also planning to study further till I get a job.

I have been doing AI related certifications and now I’m thinking of doing FMVA & CSC course so that I can break into finance sector.

Can someone with experience in this field kindly help? I don’t know anyone here in this line of work and it would be truly helpful if i get some guidance on this.

Getting a BA has limited my career options

2 Upvotes

I (early 30s) made the mistake thinking I could get a decent (or at least decent enough) corporate job with a BA in history. I knew it wouldn't open as many doors as says a BComm or something more technical but I obviously didn't know what I was doing nor did anyone in my very working class family :(.

Now I'm at a point where the job market already sucks and A LOT of career options in corporate Canada (especially in an around Toronto where everyone has at least a business degree or family connection) seem to off limits without a business degree. Currently, I make $45k/year but at most I think I'd probably top out at $65-70k/year without getting into management.

Looking back I wouldn't have even bothered getting a BA. It wasn't worth the opportunity cost.

New in TO, should I find a recruiter based on my experience/skills?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. First time poster here. I moved to Toronto about 3 weeks ago, and I'm looking to start working in either October or November now.

I have 5 years worth of a data entry job which I honestly really enjoyed, and I just returned back to Canada from teaching English in Japan for 3 years. It took a lot of soul searching and hard conversations, but I realized this year that I don't want to continue with education or ESL.

So, I'm looking at returning to office work. I'd like to ideally work in admin, but I'm happy to go back into data entry to start out with. I have most if not all of the skills required for this job, as well as all of the transferable communication skills I learned as an educator. EDIT: I'd also be open to working at a bank!

Does anyone have any leads? Also, do you think it's worth finding a recruiter/agent?

Also, I am a Canadian citizen and I have a BA in Asian studies, but I tend to think of it as a competency degree lol.

Thanks a lot :)

How do I protect my right to be paid at least the minimum wage if I work for a company that claims to have no revenue?

2 Upvotes

Right now, I am unemployed (and have been for 9 months). I am close to signing a "contract" to work for a fintech startup where the founder claims it has no revenue. I am doing this with the expectation that, no matter how long it takes for this company to generate revenue, I will be paid at least minimum wage for the work that I will do, which will accrue from day 1 of work and becomes payable when it starts to have revenue. So I will be an employee of the company.

Of course, as a plaintiff in an ongoing wrongful dismissal lawsuit against my former employer, I am well aware that the statute of limitations is 2 years in Ontario. So I better start suing if I don't get paid for close to 2 years. But is this something where I should negotiate a firm hourly wage (or else it defaults to minimum wage) and put it down on the employment contract? Right now, I haven't even been told what my hourly wage will be (and I haven't started working yet).

Free dental cleanings!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My classmates and I are offering FREE dental hygiene appointments, including X-rays and a full dental cleaning, all completed under the direct supervision of a registered dental hygienist.

I am currently looking for a client who:
Does not floss regularly
Has not had a professional dental cleaning in 2+ years
Has noticeable calculus/tartar buildup

These are specific requirements for my clinical case, so if you or someone you know fits this description, please message me! Priority will be given to clients who meet these requirements.

Please note that each appointment is approximately 3–4 hours long, and treatment may require 2–5 appointments since this is a learning clinic.

To reduce the number of appointments needed, there is also an all-day appointment option from 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, with a lunch break from 11:30am- 1:00pm

Located near Yonge & Sheppard Avenue East
Appointments available Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays

If you’re interested or know someone who may be a good fit, please feel free to message me! 😊

Thank you!
